GROUNDED AND EVOLVING 🛰

In a constantly revolving world, communication is a force that not only connects us but also propels us forward by keeping truth at the core.

At ORBiT: Truth at the Center of Communication, we explore how communication shapes truth in every aspect of our lives. From expressing our true identities, to making meaningful investments, and ensuring the credibility of information, join us in conversations that ground us in authenticity and guide us toward informed action.

🔭 See you at the UP Manila Theater on May 7, 2025, from 1:00 - 4:00 PM.

Mark your trajectory. Begin your orbit.

Tara’t makipag-sama-aralan kasama ang tagapagsalita mula mismo sa Bontoc, Mountain Province! Alamin natin ang kung ano nga ba ang 𝗯𝘂𝗵𝗮𝘆 𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗸𝗮𝘁𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗯𝗼 sa gitna ng pagpapaalis sa kanilang mga komunidad sa ngalan ng “kaunlaran” para lamang sa iilan.

Bukod pa rito, atin ding saksihan ang ang pang-araw-araw na danas ng isang katutubong aktibista, mula sa mga 𝗴𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗴-𝗸𝗼𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗱, hanggang sa 𝗸𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗮𝗱𝗮 𝗻𝗴 𝗞𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘆𝗻𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗮𝗻 upang ipanawagan ang mga hinaing ng kanilang tribu sa kanayunan.

Bagaman hindi madali ang landas ng pakikibaka, atin ding isasabuhay ang masasaya at palaban na mga alaala ng buhay ng isang lider-katutubo. Bigyan nating kulay ang buhay ng lider-katutubo na puno ng pag-asa, sama-samang pagkilos, at pagtindig para sa laban sa 𝗟𝘂𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗻𝗼 𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗴𝗽𝗮𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘆𝗮!

Kaya naman sumama na sa’ting kapehan! Maging bahagi rin sa 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁-𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 o pagpipinta ng mga panawagan o mga drawing sa telang katsa na gagawin natin pagkatapos ng talakayan.
